We enjoyed the course. Played in the afternoon. It was very humid. Not many golfers on the course at that time of the day.

Lacks Maintenance

Sand traps poor condition; no or little water available on course and what little was available was not cool. Course was closed in the AM for maintenance which was obviously not completely performed.

Fairways and greens in excellent shape, really enjoyed it.

This tree lined course played a little tighter than I remembered as it has been probably 4 yrs since I last played. New owners have the course in really nice shape though, Fairways are like carpet and the greens are in excellent shape as well (looks like they are going thru a transition to summer grass). Overall, I was really amazed at the shape the course was in. One suggestion would be to include a combo set of tees for us soon to be seniors. Alot of 400 yd par 4's from the whites Par 71 , 6600 yds and next set f forward tees are 5900 yd tees. Could use a set that was approx. 6300yds but hey I guess I am being picky (and winey). I will be going back as my buddy and I really enjoyed it.Thanks

Fantastic Course

We had a great time playing this course for the first time. the course is in terrific condition and the narrow fairways present a challenge out of the Tee Box. I can't wait to go back.

excellent layout, challenging tee shots

La Torretta requires a player to shape his tee shot on the par 4s and 5s and learn where to hit the fairway. If your can get off the tee, you can score, If not, be prepared to punch out of the trees and rough.
It's nice to see it back on the GolfNow list of courses.

First Time Playing

Good. Some tough par 4 holes. Greens need attention. Slow but holes shot well. Need to stress divot repairs to its customers.

Overall loved the course. Very nice layout, lots of water and u will need to negotiate it.

Recommend Highly

Checked in just ahead of a small tournament and breezed through the course in under three hours. No waiting, nobody pushing. Course has some challenging holes and is fairly long at 6550 yards. Greens and fairways in very good condition, as were the tee boxes.

Greens in poor condition

The greens and tee boxes on this course were in really poor condition. They were reseeded the same morning we played and I think the course should have been closed for a day or so to allow the seeds to take hold. The second thing was the amount of water on both tees and greens. In combination with everything, the greens were impossible to read and put on. The last time I played this course, it was in great shape.

Nice course, good variety of looks, picturesque, and pleasant.

Well maintained facility in a setting that's given to fine quality recreational living. The course is complimented with Lake Coroe shaping some of the views and angles of certain approaches which could take the edge off of the anxiety of shot difficulty. The experience was refreshing and enjoyable and looking forward to playing it again.

So so, wont be going back

When I booked this course, I fiugerd it would be nice since it was a "resort and spa"....the course layout and greens were decent but what actually blew me away was the clubhouse....at the turn we stopped to buy drinks, they charged $4.50 for a 20 oz Coke and also charged $4.50 for a 12 oz cup of coffee...seriuosly I understand paying a little premium for drinks but $4.50? Seriously? Needless to say, we won't be playing there again...for $60+, we should be able to find other values in the greater Houston area.

Very quiet

This course had very little traffic on it all day, and it was a joy to play a relaxing round. It is in great condition. Greens are very slow for a course of this condition, and it was a little wet in spots thoughout from excessive watering. Overall, I have played it 3 times and enjoyed the heck out of it!
